SecureSeniorConnections® was founded by a team of healthcare, insurance, and technology experts who saw how loneliness made an impact on their family and friends and vowed to make a difference for seniors everywhere. 

Our digital platform gives seniors a vibrant and trusted community beyond the walls of their senior centers, where we reduce loneliness by empowering members to connect with purpose. 

We take a whole-person approach with each member to improve wellness and build social connections. We offer multiple paths towards community and connections though: interest groups, daily SecureSeniorConnections expert moderated events, 1:1 direct messaging and the Lounge, where all members can meet and talk about what’s on their minds.

To further empowerment, SecureSeniorConnections has a hands-on approach to technology. We have a live customer support team, and list our toll-free phone number in plain sight on the platform. In addition, we offer training and learning opportunities through our live events and our curated content.

Security is the cornerstone of our relationship with members. That’s why we made it the first word in our brand name. Our invite-only membership model reinforces our mission to deliver a safe and private experience for seniors. All members are invited by a trusted third party, and all members undergo an authentication or verification process. We never sell any members’ information, and we keep all member information confidential. 

SecureSeniorConnections is the complement to senior centers, because together, we’re better.

The Science Behind SecureSeniorConnections®

SecureSeniorConnections® (SSC) takes a two-fold approach towards solving the issue of loneliness and social isolation in older people. The first is utilizing the best data at hand to help guide the design of the platform and activities. To that end, SSC leverages elements of the social isolation and loneliness reduction framework from the Campaign to End Loneliness, providing:

Gateway services – tools to provide social isolation and loneliness prevention/alleviation services
Direct interventions – specific and targeted activities to prevent or alleviate social isolation and loneliness
Structural enablers – methods for how these services can be delivered

The second approach SSC takes is to serve as a laboratory to further research loneliness and isolation among older adults. Through its use of the De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale, large platform membership and outcomes data provided by our partners, SSC is a promising platform for validating existing interventions to prevent loneliness and social isolation, as well as for innovating new ones.
